submit it anyway. they don't like it, they can deny it with an explanation and you can appeal/resolve it through the HR channels. Isn't that what that system exists to do?AGGODDESS said:

First post. Hey guys.
I think I have an answer. We're talking about three degrees of separation, so take it for what it's worth, but the Chancellor was willing to take his time in getting folks back to work, since working remotely didn't turn out to be the clusterfoxtrot most people thought it would be, but the Board of Regents pretty much forced his hand. So back we go.
I'll miss it. A guy can get used to wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt to work everyday, and taking kid/dog breaks.

interesting stats from a meeting....75% of our office intends to apply for an AWL. Hilarious stuff.
She is a champion. And lately has been starting work at 3-4am to get a bunch done prior to the toddler waking up.

Fill me in. What does that mean?

"The objective of the provision of an AWL is to create a flexible and supportive work environment for Texas A&M employees. However, departmental and Texas A&M operational requirements take precedence over an employee's request for an AWL as determined by the department or equivalent unit head"
if you've been killing it from home for a year, I don't see how they could objectively deny it, especially if their (lack of) communication caused the issue

Which is why it's funny. Everyone thinks they are special. Reality will be hilarious.
Who is "we"???

I believe it because I've been doing it too. I've been lucky enough to have some help from family and a neighbor girl to come over and babysit. My work would be 1000% noticed if it wasn't done and you do what you've got to do. As crazy as it's been, I've loved it.
That's how it should be handled.Tookieclothespin said:

Give people that will go back in more time to adjust.
People that don't want to go back in when school starts in the Fall should start putting resume's and CV's in elsewhere right now.

Already happening.
I wonder how long before they drop the mask rule with the new CDC guidance.
Looks like TAMU mask mandate will end on June 4th, according to Governor's new executive order.

I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.

Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Tuesday banning government entities in Texas like cities and counties from requiring masks to fight the coronavirus pandemic. The order also says that after June 4, public schools will no longer be able to mandate masks on their campuses.
Starting Friday, any government entity that tries to impose a mask mandate can face a fine of up to $1,000, according to the order. The order exempts state-supported living centers, government-owned or -operated hospitals, Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities, Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities, and county and municipal jails.
The order is arguably the most consequential for public schools. After Abbott ended the statewide mask requirement in early March, school systems were allowed to continue with their own mask-wearing policies unchanged. But after June 4, "no student, teacher, parent, or other staff member or visitor may be required to wear a face covering," according to Abbott's new order.
